Could Caglianone’s Rookie Break Propel a Team to an Unthinkable Postseason Run?
But for his teammates, that was just a continuation of what they had seen for weeks.
“I remember seeing him his first day in spring in BP,” Witt said with a grin. “It’s just … different. It was different. He was hitting balls to left field that righties hit. So then you’re like, ‘All right, well that’s BP.’ And then it’s like, ‘All right, he’s doing in the games.’ And then, ‘Well, he’s doing against big league pitching. Now this is impressive.’”
The Royals have the pieces to make another run toward the postseason – entering Thursday’s action, the Opta Analyst projection model gave them a 44.4% chance of advancing to it – but the offense needs an upgrade. They’re last in the AL in runs scored and last in the majors in home runs (in fact, seven behind the 29th-place Pirates in that category).
